2021-10-13 16:50:31 The event, which kicks off at 10AM PT, comes just a smidge over a month after Apple’s last big event, which debuted a brand new iPhone and Apple Watch, among others. So, what does that leave? New Macs were the biggest question mark after the last event. The company is still in the midst of a two-year plan to upgrade all of its desktops and laptops to its in-house silicon. Perhaps we’ll be seeing that new MacBook Pro, with an upgraded version of last year’s M1 chip. A larger version of last year’s Arm-based iMac has been rumored, as well, along with a new Mac Mini.

Accessories like brand new AirPods also look like a reasonable possibility. So, what, precisely, constitutes “unleashed” in all of this? If the graphic is any indication, Apple’s invented some sort of warp-speed space travel. Stay tuned. Open / Comment

2020-12-06 14:31:41 The Cheap, Cross-Platform Option :

Splashtop Wired XDisplay

If your Mac or iPad isn't supported by Sidecar—or you're a Windows and Android user—Splashtop Wired XDisplay is a third-party app that can turn your tablet into a second monitor. It only works when connected over USB, and isn't the smoothest option I've used, but it'll do the job adequately for not a lot of money.

Splashtop Wired XDisplay has two components: a desktop agent that runs in the background on your PC or Mac, and an iPad app or Android app that runs on your tablet. (The iPad app appears to be completely free, while the Android app is $7—though there's a free trial version that works for 10 minutes at a time.)

After installing both the desktop and tablet apps, ensure the desktop app is running on your computer, connect your tablet to your computer with a USB cable, then launch the XDisplay app on your tablet. It will establish a connection to your computer, and a blank desktop will appear on your tablet. You rearrange your monitors from your computer's Display settings, drag windows to your tablet, and otherwise use it as a second monitor for a productivity boost.

I recommend having a stand to keep it propped up—something like this works great if you're using your tablet with a laptop, while a more adjustable stand like this is ideal for desktop usage.

Splashtop Wired XDisplay works decently well, at least in my experience using an iPad and a Windows PC. There is some noticeable latency, and I did have some trouble with it getting stuck in Mirrored Mode on one of my computers, but for the price of free, it's worth a shot. Open / Comment

2020-12-06 14:23:40 The Ideal Option :

Sidecar on macOS Catalina

Sidecar is arguably the best option for turning your iPad into a second display. So if you have a Mac and an iPad from the past three or four years, you'll want to try it first.

(If your devices are older than that, skip down to the next section.)

To connect your iPad as a display, either connect your iPad to your Mac over USB, or—to do it wirelessly—ensure Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Handoff are turned on. You'll also need to be logged in to the same Apple ID on both devices

Then, click the AirPlay button in your Mac's menu bar and select your iPad from the list. The icon will change, and clicking the menu again will offer you a number of options. You can mirror your Mac's display or extend it, show or hide the Sidebar and Touch Bar that appear on the iPad, or disconnect your tablet.

You can use Sidecar wired or wirelessly, but if you want to switch between them, you have to disconnect and re-connect using the AirPlay menu. Apple says it should work wirelessly as long as the iPad is within 10 meters (30 feet) of the Mac, and you can even use your Apple Pencil to sign documents and draw in supported apps. Open / Comment
